Sustainable Design Services in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

“Jigsaw is the reason we have such a liveable home. Having lived in many houses, we had clear ideas of what we wanted - to build an energy efficient, light-filled home that would work with us as a family. We wanted clever use of space and storage, responsible use of materials and a beautiful nurturing environment to live in. Jigsaw had the expertise to maintain a creative approach while problem-solving the many limitations of a modern build on a Heritage listed block. The combined skills of the team provided us with a very positive building experience. We continue to recommended Jigsaw, and the novelty of our new home is likely to never wear off! We are very content and proud of our home that adapts to our needs and enables us to live a comfortable family life.”

“We chose Laggner Constructions to re-build our old deck and to construct a new metal pergola over it. Steve was easy to work with, communication was seamless, the work was of a high quality, and we appreciated his attention to detail. We are very happy with the result and would recommend Steve and his team to others.”

“Prior to engaging the services of Plan It Green, our outdoor deck/entertaining area was looking tired and dated. We wanted to resolve this problem and have a deck that was more spacious, functional, aesthetically pleasing and utilised energy efficient building products. It was also important that it flowed from the existing home thus creating a seamless and incorporative feel.There were no real concerns before commencing the project aside from relocating a few established plants. The outcome from the completed project has exceeded our expectations. The new deck has enhanced greatly our outdoor living no matter what season it may be. It has contributed to our lifestyle as it offers another functional space that can be enjoyed on a daily basis. Angela Knock of Plan It Green understood completely all aspects of the brief and our collaboration with her was nothing short of perfect. Her engagement was professional and thorough, she met time frames and sourced appropriate building products and offered sound reasoning and knowledge throughout. We would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to undertake a building project. The end result is that we have a beautiful, functional extension to our everyday living that has undoubtedly added value to our home but, more importantly, to our lives.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Hugh Gordon Architect for a new house we are building. In the brief we told Hugh everything and anything we wanted to include, expecting Hugh to tell us that some of what we wanted wasn't possible. In fact, Hugh responded with "anything is possible!" He and his team were great to work with.”

“I have worked with Tony Pike and his team on countless projects in my capacity as sales manager for a building company. I can't speak highly enough of the level of service and quality of work produced over the years.”

“We found Michael to be excellent. He was easy to work with and challenged us on our design. He was able to draw out why we had chosen certain elements and then proposed alternatives that enhanced many components of our build. We found him very generous with his outstanding knowledge, down to earth and very obliging. What a nice guy. Thank you Michael. Update Oct 2020 - Have contacted Michael this month to help with some DA issues that were not to do with his design or plans. He has helped us find others who can help with our issue immediately. Just above and beyond. WOW how I have really appreciate this - Peter.”

“Allan Spira Architects designed us a beautiful airy eco-friendly four bedroom contemporary cottage in Canberra and helped us manage construction over a 12 month period with a limited budget. We also utilised the company's interior design expertise. We were grateful for the warm and flexible approach to design and in depth local knowledge - it helped produce the bespoke responsible home we dreamed about.”

“We worked with Adam Hobill on the design of a significant extension to our home, which included the addition of a second level and the modernisation of the street-facing facade. Adam was a pleasure to work with and provided us with a design that met our needs while adding interest to the home. He pushed us towards new ideas in a few areas, which we benefitted from. He also helped us select a builder and then worked with them in a collaborative manner throughout the build, helping keep the right balance between cost and outcome. Overall we are extremely happy with the end result. As an added benefit the extension won the ACT HIA Award for renovations $200-350k and also the overall Renovation/Addition of the Year award in 2012! We highly recommend Adam Hobill Design. Pictures of the end result are detailed on the builder's website at: http://griffinconstructions.com.au/portfolio/red-hill-carnegie-crescent/”

“I had the pleasure of engaging Jennifer from Core Interiors to design my house and she did an amazing job for me. The changes have been dramatic and our house has been modernised extensively. Our house looks so much more spacious and inviting and I would have no hesitation in recommending Core Interiors to other people. Thank you so much for everything it has been so life changing for us.”

“The team (Bob, Brendan and Lisa) at BLD Homes was extremely professional and accommodating from the start of my build all the way until handover. As this was our first building experience, we weren’t sure what to expect. We have had friends and family with some horror stories with builders in the past, but we knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Our home was completed well within the time frame and the quality was top class! Any minor issues were quickly resolved to ensure that our move was timely and smooth. They were with us along the way and. We appreciated the constant updates from the team throughout the build and were very impressed with their knowledge/expertise in relation to the design of ou home. This was a large and challenging project but they made it very easy and very satisfying experience for us. The team at BLD was very transparent and honest and provided full details of the cost upfront, I wouldn't choose anyone else for my next home.”
